The behaviour of the child and hisability to conduct himself in terms of academics is a major concern for his parents. Jacobneeds to be involved in the Attention-Deficit or Hyperactivity Disorder. The biggest concernthat has been witnessed by the parents, as well as the teachers, is the fact that Jacob finds itdifficult to concentrate, listen and follow orders or tasks that have been provided to him. Hesuffers from frequent fits in which he shouts out and remains his tasks incomplete. He cannotperform multiple tasks and is overloaded with information. However, one bright spot in thelife of Jacob is that he enjoys working with computers and has expressed a strong desire oftaking it up as a course in the future. He also gets frustrated if he fails to understand anythingat school.2. A description of the context and settingThe setting of the case takes place at the primary school and home of the child.SENCO primary school is the place from which feedback regarding the behaviour and habitof Jacob has been taken.
